"Great hotel in a superb location"  by P from Belfast, N. Ireland

This hotel indicated quality from the moment you arrived at the front door until you reluctantly left. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for the Concierge. The city view room was great and the pillows were the most comfortable we have ever slept on! The bar is highly recommended and breakfast is expensive but worth it. We never had to walk more than 10 min to a great restaurant and the rest of the city and sites are within easy reach. We would definitely go back to Boston and the Boston Harbour Hotel.
